This is the second card I made today for the Inspiration Challenge. I loved this picture - http://blogs.amctv.com/mad_men_seaso...ion-joan-2.php - and I wanted to make a card based on that gorgeous spotted dress.
But when I went to the Spots and Dots section in my paper file - where were all the ones I thought I had? They were either too big or not suitable.
So here is the bed-head, the spread, and the flower from the lamp beside the bed...
The base is pearlescent gold embossed with the Textile folder. The green layer is Swiss Dots, edged with gold Liquid Pearls. I stamped the white rectangle with leaves from Embrace Life, and coloured the leaves, and the flower stamped on another scrap, with markers. I added more Liquid Pearls to the flower.
There was too much empty space on the left so when I finally found my 1/2 inch punch I punched out some leaves stamped in green, sponged the edges with pink and added Dew Drops.
It's as close as I'll get today to Beate's sketch - Blogs at Splitcoaststampers . I had to drop the flower down a bit because a sentiment wasn't going to work where that round panel was. Hope to try the sketch again tomorrow and maybe do better.
